For Guru Meditation errors (especially Triple Faults), you should head to the bugtracker and either search for an appropriate bug where you'll attach your logs and other vital information, or open a new bug report.00:00:04.995627 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 00:00:04.995628 !! 00:00:04.995628 !!

SmartOS is a specialized Type 1 Hypervisor platform based on illumos. It supports two types of virtualization:
OS Virtual Machines (Zones): A light-weight virtualization solution offering a complete and secure userland environment on a single global kernel, offering true bare metal performance and all the features illumos has, namely dynamic introspection via DTrace
KVM Virtual Machines: A full virtualization solution for running a variety of guest OS's including Linux, Windows, *BSD, Plan9 and more
SmartOS is a "live OS", it is always booted via PXE, ISO, or USB Key and runs entirely from memory, allowing the local disks to be used entirely for hosting virtual machines without wasting disks for the root OS. This architecture has a variety of advantages including increased security, no need for patching, fast upgrades and recovery.
SmartOS is typically "installed" by downloading and copying the OS image onto a USB key and then booting that key. On the first boot a configuration utility will configure your base networking, allow you to set the root password, and allow you to select which disks to use to create the ZFS Zpool which will provide persistent storage.
So, Guff did the right thing. He created a Solaris 11 VM, attached the VMDK (I personally did it with a VDIIn VirtualBox, create a New machine. Set the OS as "Solaris 11 64bit". Attach the VMDK you just created as the boot drive. (Give the VM at least 2GB of RAM, preferably more.)
) and a new VDI for the zpool, according to the instructions. Boots OK, setup (seems to) run fine, but on reboot you get a Guru Meditation. I've tried changing different settings to no avail.Don't forget to add the ticket number here so that other users can benefit from it.socratis wrote:For Guru Meditation errors (especially Triple Faults), you should head to the bugtracker and either search for an appropriate bug where you'll attach your logs and other vital information, or open a new bug report.
Actually, SmartOS is built on Solaris foundations.loukingjr wrote:FWIW, From their Wiki page, I saw no evidence SmartOS was supposed to run in Solaris or any other OS.
Well, I may have not put it explicitly, but it's on my info on the right-hand side that I am actually on a Mac and I did try the suggestion on the exact same page with the same failure. But I also think that Michal's statements stand correct.Guff wrote:From traffic in the SmartOS forums, plenty of other people have followed this set of instructions; though probably not on a Mac host.
